Please keep postings on topic. While the groups are not moderated - that is, everything you post immediately goes to everyone on the list - if someone abuses the privilege, we have the right to remove your ability to post.

Sign up now for any or all lists to stay informed.  You do not have to have a google login; any email address will work. It doesn't have to be a "gmail" address, and you don't have to use it for anything else but these groups.

The Pahaquarra District Membership Committee is committed to supporting scout units in their recruiting and membership efforts. Cub Scout recruiting is critical to the overall health of Scouting in our communities, as it prviodes an "on-ramp" to the Scouting program for young boys and their families. Please take a few minutes to complete the on-line survey using the link below. You may wish to consult with the Pack Committee or other leaders in the pack prior to completing the survey.

Your survey answers and ideas will help us create an effective membership plan that supports your Pack and enhances Scouting on our region. Take the survey here: PAH Cub Scout Membership Survey

We will share the survey results at an upcoming Rountable meeting and through the district website.

There is still time to sign up for the 2013 Jamboree
Due to lower than anticipated registration to date nationwide, the National Jamboree Department has asked us to continue our promotion and recruiting for the 2013 Jamboree. For CNJC, this means we will attempt to fill a fifth troop (we are already about half-way there!) Applications and instructions (youths only) can be found on the Council websites, and the e-scouter, or you can request one from the Council office. Contact: Frank Battaglia

For everything you wanted to know about Jambo, click on The Official 2013 Scout Jamboree Site, the first major event at the new Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve, in WV. The CNJC Jambo Committee chair is Frank Battaglia. He can answer your questions. Here is an application form (PDF).
